I'm currently working for a real-estate company which we are investors in.
My official designation is assistant marketing manager, since I would
like to save the starting company some money I am also taking on the
duties of the IT department (which for now are very minor) for said
company. The company can hire a full time IT guy when the need arises
but for now kegaw ko na muna kung ano kaya.
So I registered a domain with godaddy.com and used promo code REV10 to
get a discount on the registration cost.
For email hosting I decided to go with Microsoft's Outlook.com which
is free (for now). I made a few email addresses for the meantime,
limit is 50.
Honestly I would have preferred Google Apps but since it is no longer
a free service I went with outlook. I have a grandfathered-in account
for Google Apps which I had linked to gibi.com.ph unfortunately the
domain registration for that had expired and it is now being squatted
on by some Koreans (according to whois) -- the gibi.com.ph situation
is much much messier and I haven't had the chance to really do reforms
that I want with it. I would like to rectify it when I have extra
time. But right now I am focusing on the new company which is starting
from scratch therefore less problems when changes are enacted.
I have emailed dotph (local domain registrar) and hopefully we can get
control back of gibi.com.ph and I hope they don't charge too much for
it! Medyo taga tong local registrar natin. Monopoly kasi.
As for other social media presence I setup twitter and Facebook which
was fairly easy. Google+ isn't really a priority right now.
For the website I am looking to do it in house (read: on my own) using
squarespace.com's excellent hosting and content management system
which is 8$/mo -- which in my guesstimate would still be cheaper vs
hiring a web developer. Right now I am a few days in with their 2 week
trial.
Now all I need is content. Working with some great people on that too.
Aside from this, I also need to focus on the small gadget business
which I have with my friend. We need new items.
assistant marketing manager / IT / web developer / social media / entrepreneur.
Quite a lot on the plate. Oh, I'm sure other people have more, but
this much work is all new to me. Hoping I can manage my time better to
allot sufficient focus on the jobs I've taken on especially when
things really get rolling with the real-estate company.
